Ales quickly made his way to the pilot room, which was easy to find as this section of the airship was not that different from the commercial ones he flew.
"Sir!" He pounded on the door. "Is everything alright? Have we got a code 97?" It turned out that those emergency protocol chapters he read to get his license came in handy after all.
There was a series of loud thumps from inside, and a Tarutaru opened the door, wearing a military uniform. There were other airship assistants inside, scrambling around the room while a Hypello stood at the wheel. "No, everything is under control in here," she answered. "But we're quickly losing altitude, and the propeller room's been hit pretty hard." She was obviously trying to look calm while the airship was under attack from all sides and about to fall in a fiery blaze.
"Permission to help with repairs down there?" His tools would come in handy.
"Are you an airship mechanic?"
"Pilot, officially. But I've built machines like this before, and propulsion mechanisms are not that specialized."
"Take these." She pulled out a set of keys from a nearby cabinet. "They unlock the tool closet that have just the things you might need. I'll order any hands that can help down there." And she ran back to her station.
